Grasshopper Manufacture Reveals ‘Romeo is a Dead Man’ for PS5

LOS ANGELES, CA

Grasshopper Manufacture has officially announced its latest title, ‘Romeo is a Dead Man,’ during today’s State of Play event. Slated for release on PlayStation 5 in 2026, the game features fast-paced, ultra-violent action set across multiple universes.

The game’s protagonist, Romeo Stargazer, is portrayed as an FBI Space-Time special agent who utilizes a unique weapon—the Dead Gear mask—to track down the most wanted criminals across the space-time continuum. According to the creators, the storyline follows Romeo’s quest, intertwining with his search for his missing girlfriend, Juliet.

Goichi “Suda51” Suda, the game’s director, explained that players will engage in combat using a blend of swords and guns, emphasizing intense and bloody action. “Romeo will not only use swords, but also guns,” said Suda. “The development team is working hard to create this strong-style action game.”

‘Romeo is a Dead Man’ promises players a dynamic gameplay experience featuring a variety of clever level designs. Players will switch between battling foes in the real world and an alternate universe, unleashing special attacks like Bloody Summer, which allows them to accumulate blood from enemies for powerful moves.

“When the going really gets tough, unleash Bloody Summer,” the announcement stated, highlighting the innovative mechanics at play. As Romeo pursues fugitives, he will need to confront questions about his own identity and the meaning of being a “Dead Man.”

Fans can look forward to more updates as Grasshopper Manufacture continues to develop this title. Stay tuned for further details as the release date approaches in 2026.
